RIP Rakit

Might be worth getting a 2nd room in Soi 6 o you can keep yer mongerin' gear there

If you have a bit more time in the Dam, check out the Tsukinski Cinema.. down Damtrak past Dam Square and hang a left at the floating flower market... 100 metres.

Personally I was surprised to read the contents of this Nightmarch post. Don't get me wrong, it was good to get a little gossip about the history of the 2 Living Dolls as I had always wondered how they were connected. However, having seen the size of some of the guys who hang out in Living Dolls, I will definitely not be repeating any of the above story in Pattaya and particularly around Walking Street.

That poor wee lassie. I met her a few times :crying Ben - great posting with sensitivity.

They are working BahtBus

As far as I know, the Travel Agent's regulation board ABTA (UK) state that a change of more than 12 hours in your flight is "significant" and you should be entitled to a full return of your cash in these circumstances. I don't know where yopu are flying from, but if it's from the UK, Phuket Airlines have a flight from Gatwick on 22 March. They have altered schedules a lot recently. I recently found that the mention of "naming and shaming" both Phuket Airlines and my travel Agency on a web board of 6,000 members dedicated to travel to Thailand resulted in an immediate change in their

Don't do it kid, or at least postpone for a few months. Once you step over that line, the rose colored glasses will, bit by bit, turn to shit. Slow down, let your parents meet her. Take their advice.
